or the cap bottom surface (without cap claw) of the fuel probe and drain port bottom
edge, which are minimum and maximum scale values respectively (see fig 1.1).
2 For fuel control with the same dielectric permittivity for the fuel, which used for
calibration. For other kinds of fuel, the personal should use calibration chart
(according to fuel dielectric permittivity table).
3 For level measurement of other dielectric liquids, it is necessary to use other
special fuel probe types, depending on the liquid parameters and operation
conditions.

1.1.4 Structure and Functioning
Measuring of fuel level is carried out by measuring head together with
probe immersed into the fuel.
When immersed into the fuel, probe of sensor performs the function of a
variable capacitor whose capacitance is linearly dependent on the filling level of
fuel.
Sensor’s measuring head performs a linear transformation of probe's
capacitance into a digital code of the fuel level, processing of obtained digital data
with averaging the measurement results, measurement of head’s temperature
and data output in unified EDE Protocol via RS-485 or RS-232 interface. Fuel level
data is outputted in form of 16-bit value, and optionally as 10- or 12-bit value
selectable, data about the temperature in the form of 8-bit value. In order to
estimate acceleration and angle of vehicle's inclination, for purpose of estimation
of reliability of level value and its further compensation depending on the angle,
there is the inclinometer built in the head.
In order to define volume of controlled fuel, the procedure of the fuel tank
calibration should be performed, at which dependence between the volume of
fuel and level code is determined.
Calibration procedure control and establishing data exchange parameters
by means of "eS Install" software are described in Appendix А to the document
"EN.000 ИМ. Installation manual ".
EDE data exchange protocol is given in Appendix B of that document.
The embedded software update process, as well as saving and restoration
process of configuration data is described in Appendix C of that document.

1.2 Description of product components
1.2.1 Measuring heads
Sensor’s measuring head (fig. 1.2) contains:
- capacitometer;
- inclinometer (in certain models);
- data concentrator with calibration tables;
- digital data processing circuit;
- data exchange device;
- galvanic barrier (for model EN);
- power stabilizer and scheme providing necessary protection of input
and output circuits.
Connection with external devices is provided through interface cable.
Capacitometer performs the conversion of current capacity of the probe
into digital code. Conversion is a linear function with variable parameters.
Inclinometer is present in the models of EXХXiх-XXXX version. Inclinometer
is executed on the basis of accelerometer with high resolution, and designed for
evaluation of acceleration and inclination angle of the vehicle, in order to estimate
reliability of the fuel level value and for possibility of its consequent compensation
depending on inclination angle.
Built-in data concentrator features in all listed models, however, using it
together with other sensors is possible only with EN6 model due to the presence
of two independent interfaces RS-232 and RS-485. Designation of master and
slave ports is set programmatically. Other models may only use embedded
calibration tables on the eigenvalues.
Digital data processing circuit performs control of capacitance meter (range,
zero offset, etc.) as well as temperature compensation, filtering and scaling the
obtained data. Data exchange device allows data exchange with the monitoring
device, saving / loading of calibration and configuration data of fuel level sensor,
remote upgrade of built-in software via serial interface.
Built-in galvanic isolation is an additional instrument fuel level sensor safety
system, and it is designed for isolation of measuring element’s and probe’s circuits
from the rest of electronics of the head.
This solution eliminates the possibility of passage interference currents on
circuits "case signal ground”, increases interference immunity of measuring
element, enhances stability and reliability of the entire device.
For EZ model galvanic barrier is realized in spark protection module BIZ-EZ.
The measuring head is attached to the probe by means of a threaded
connection. Tightness of measuring head's attachment is provided by sealing ring
located in the end groove.

The probe is a coaxial capacitor formed by a pipe made of aluminum alloy
(outer electrode) and an insulated copper string or aluminum alloy pin (inner
electrode). Required string tension is supported by a spring that is located in
contact of the probe’s connector. Concentricity of a pin and an outer pipe is
provided by internal plastic inserts.
1.2.3 Spark protection module BIZ-EZ (for model "Epsilon EZ")
Intrinsic Safety Requirements for sensor of "EZ" model is provided by
connecting them via spark protection module, which is included in delivery
package.
Spark protection module is designed for power supply of the sensor with
type of explosion protection "intrinsically safe electrical circuit" of "ia" level, and
for exchange of information signals with a sensor via RS-485 interface. Spark
protection module has galvanic insulation both between inputs and outputs of
power supply, and between inputs and outputs of RS-485 interface.
Spark safety of electrical circuits of a unit, associated with equipment in
potentially explosive area, is provided by current and voltage limiting in electrical
circuits down to intrinsically safe values.
Spark protection module is designed for installation beyond the potentially
explosive areas. It relates to an apparatus of active type and is designed for the
protection of intrinsically safe circuits under the influence of a voltage up to
250 V.
Power supply of spark protection module is carried out from the source of
direct current with voltage of 9...36 V. Parameter values of intrinsically safe
circuits of spark protection module are given in Table 2.2.
1.2.4 Flange
Flange serves for hermetic fixing of the probe to the tank of vehicle. Fixation
of flange to the tank is realized by means of self-drilling screws. Tight seal
between tank and flange is provided by a rubber gasket.
1.2.5 Interface cable
Interface cable is designed for connecting measuring head to external
devices. Interface cable is protected against mechanical impacts with flexible
metal hose or corrugated pipe.

permeability, applied when calibrating. Failure to observe this results in an
increase in measuring errors.
2.2. Explosive safety
2.2.1 EN model sensors are explosion proof, have "1ExsiaIICT6 Х" explosion
proof mark and can be used in Class 1 and 2 explosion-hazardous areas head,
and 0, 1, 2 probe. Sign "Х" in explosion proofing labeling indicates specific
conditions of sensors’ safe application, lies in the following:
- sensors should be included in the electrical circuits of equipment, powered
only from the vehicle battery with a voltage not exceeding 36 V, and having
no electrical connections with electrical equipment which has other sources
of power;
- connection of sensors to the mains must be carried out via a fuse with a
nominal value of not more than 0.1 A.
EZ model sensors are explosion proof, have explosion proofing labeling "0
Ex ia IIВ T6" and can be used in Class 0, 1 and 2 explosion-hazardous areas.
Explosion proofing of EZ model sensor is provided by its connection via
spark protection module BIZ-EZ.
